How to Reuse Old Potting Soil for New Plants Instantly and Save Money on Potting Mix

quick and easy to the point, very helpful👍

Actually you can leave all but the biggest stem root in but break them up...they will compost in place and add nutrients. 😊

Thank you for the video. Should this be done in the spring or fall? I have been removing the plants in the fall and leave the soil in a garbage can in the garage over the winter. Can I add the additives in the spring? What is the best way?

Thank you ! After doing this is it necessary to sterilize it (add boiling water, bake ,etc...)??

My roots never come out that perfectly 😂!

I have a question: Why remove the old roots? Can't you leave as organic material that will give nutrients to the soil? Maybe just cut it into small pieces?

so after every plant run i simply could repeat this process every time to continue to use it for multiple grow runs ?

Seems easier to just get a new bag of soil.🤷‍♂

Очень полезное видео, спасибо.

Excellent…just what I needed to know

don't do it by "saving" money you might not have a crop the current year. I've got blight on all the tomatoes that I've used "revive" soil. for god damn 20£ I have to start all over again

I loved your video, I am just a bit confused about the part where you say organic fertilizer "with calcium". It's nightime here, SO, maybe my ferts, (as in the slow release kind) that are in my greenhouse DO contain calcium, BUT, I am not sure, and I don't like to go outside in the dark here since we have bears and coyotes. SO, IF maybe they do NOT contain calcium, I DO have some lime, and also a sort of soil additive that has calcium AND sulfer in it for adding calcium to soil that a person does NOT want to be alkaline, since adding LIME can make the PH of the soil you add it to become more alkaline.
Sorry that I can't just go out and look at the bags of my soil ammendments right now, but, bears....etc. I also DO have a marine based organic fertilizer and MAYBE it has a good bit of calcium from the shells of sea creatures?
ANYHOW, can you maybe tell me a type of calcium rich fert? I will be growing tomatoes in my "newly replenished" soil btw. I do hope it's something I already have since even in winter, I'd been buying soil ammendments galore. Well, I guess that's my problem, BUT, maybe give me a suggestion of a high calcium soil ammendment that won't affect PH? Maybe I'm asking for the impossible?

Deep dark composts are full of nutrition, but buying them from the garden center is a little expensive, so I prefer to make my own compost. Simply leave the dead vines, branches, and leaves in the raised beds during the winter and when the temperature warms up, they should become nice and fresh compost. LOL

Great video. I guess I've been doing it right..?! Once the rootball and most roots are out, I add 1-2 gallon of Worm Castings, and 2 gallons of Perlite, along with some BAS Craft Blend plant food, Insect Frass, and Dolomite lime, per 10 gallons of reused Peat/Coco/Perlite soilless mix.
Then re-amend the same way as above. Saving money, and having better soil each run, is what most will experience, from all I've learned.👍

WOW! this video was REALLY helpful! and just in time!

The visual videos are so helpful! Do you make your potting soil the same way when starting new bags? I know you have listed the recipes but seeing what “1 part to 3 parts” etc is so nice! Thank you

Where do you keep your soil and keep it dry in the container?

I use composted cow manure. Is chicken better?

Thx for sharing

I am so glad you posted this video. I do the same thing.. I subscribed as well a few weeks back. I just love your videos very educational.. thank you..

Thank you for this video . Its really helpful.

Your potting soil looks so clean?? Whenever I remove old plants from their containers, I will always find white grubs on the bottom of my pots. 🥲

Thanks. That’s what I need to know.

Thanks so much for sharing this information 👍🏾
